Demand Investigation into Penn State Women's Gymnastics & Athletics

Current PSU team member. Please help us.

My bosses daughter attended PSU gymnastic program. Can't tell you how many times she had to leave and drive to PSU to support her daughter. She was a mess when she left PSU. Hope they investigate.

We need to trust that the coaches will provide a safe and nurturing environment for our children! If they don't, then action needs to be taken.

When people speak up about abuse they have suffered at the hands of powerful people, we have a moral and ethical responsibility to listen and to take them seriously. Once again Penn State is failing to live up to their obligations.

I am so proud of the girls and assistant coach Brown for standing up to the Thompson's. PSU really needs to protect young athletes and this makes me question what else has gone on at Penn State that has not been properly reported. The NCAA needs to step in because PSU clearly doesn't know how to properly investigate abuse reports.

Please investigate! It speaks VOLUMES when graduates from an NCAA program advise recruits to stay away from their alma mater because of the coaches! I'm so thankful that an Auburn alum (NCAA All American) told my daughter to take Auburn off her list because of the Thompsons! I'm here to say that there ARE wonderful coaches out there! My daughter (also an NCAA All American) had an amazing collegiate gymnastics experience! Recruits and their parents should thoroughly investigate schools and coaches. INVESTIGATE, PSU!

I don't understand how people can come out and say all that has happend to them and then there coaches are aloud to continue. These girls deserve justice.

Former Auburn gymnast. I can contest to the mental and verbal abuse of the Thompsons and to their manipulation into taking scholarships away.

I'm a 2014 graduate from unh gymnastics program

Past Time for Administration to step up and right all the wrongs and cover ups.

Investigate! Protect your athletes. These women should be leaving your school stronger, smarter and better then when they arrived not abused, depressed, beaten down. An investigation is most deffinately warranted, numbers don't lie.

The Thompkins tried to make my daughter take antidepressants & caused major self-esteem issues.

For the sake of the student athletes, for the sake of the coaches, a thorough and complete investigation must be done. If even one allegation is true, action must be taken.

Ex Olympic Gymnast from Spain and survivor Of emotional al and sexual abuse by my Gimnastics National Team Coach . WE must stop violence against athletes. thanks

These people you have hired are entrusted with the health and safety of incredible young women, and even if it's not true you owe it to them to investigate in the full.

Protect the kids

Do the investigation! In this day and age, it's stupid not to. Do the right thing.

I personally know someone very special to me that was abused by these coaches!!! Something needs to be done, no one deserves to feel the way she did!!!!

I watched my little sister get abused by those coaches for way to long. She was stripped of her dreams. PSU stand up and do the right thing.
